We call brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Cadillac, Lexus, Audi, and Acura “luxury” brands. We say that the Mercedes E-class is a “luxury” car. But what really is a “luxury” car, or a “luxury” brand? Are there different levels of luxury? Does price matter? These are all questions that I will (attempt) to answer in this post. We call the BMW 3-series a “luxury” car…

I wanted to talk about one of my favourite trucks. The DAF XF E6. It’s a benchmark for long-distance transport. Developed for maximum transport efficiency. With powerful PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 Euro 6 engines, which are now even more efficient thanks to numerous further refinements. A well thought out chassis. An attractive exterior design. And a spacious, comfortable interior. The best XF ever, for operators and drivers. I agree. I’ve seen them live, gorgeous.

Im honestly amazed, i bet every single one of you waited for someone to ask this question so that you can get your anger about them out without you starting the fight first, right? Well, there are people who love Opel and then there are those who love some Opels and those who dont like Opel at all. Why? Well im going to explain almost every comment here.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blogpost about why all hot hatches shouldn’t become AWD. Before anyone shouts ‘Fokus RS thuuu bezzt’ it is not. No cars is flawless. And for some reason Chris Harris dislikes it quite a bit. Because we live in a time cars have to be more and more powerful every sort of cars have to face it, even the hot hatches which many people love. Car manufacturers know this too, and unfortunately instead of putting some effort into making a great FWD hot hatch, they just go the easy way and make them AWD So here are a few reasons to support my opinion:

As many of you know, it’s now a rumor that Dord will be scrapping the 3.7 “Cyclone” V6 mustang from the lineup, leaving only the inline-4 eco boost and V8 GT. With the announcement of the Ecoboost, it seemed inevitable that the V6 had a replacement on the rise. The car was hyped beyond belief, being the major change for the S550 generation lineup.

Look how you can roll in this game! At the very same time everybody was playing Gran Turismo 4, Konami launched Enthusia Professional Racing, a game that it was absolutely amazing! Got it when I was visiting my family at the US. I had to buy a new PS2, as the old one fell on the ground (damn you cables) and because it was from the US, I was unable to play downloaded games, I had to buy new games as well.

I’d like to start out by breaking it to you all that this is going to be one of those “it’s better than you think” reviews because that’s really the only phrase to entirely capture what this car really is. Better. Than you might think. Why? Well, lets start with the raw data. The MDX has a high compression version of Honda’s 3.5L V6, giving it 265 wheel horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque. This is a 21 horsepower advantage over the normal 3.5L that can be found in both the Honda Pilot and Odyssey.

Since its launch in 1999, Gran Turismo 2 has been considered as one of the best racing games ever created. I try to explain... In 1999, Polyphony Digital launched what became considered one of the best racing games ever sold. Released as a sequence of the Gran Turismo 1 (Which was the bestselling game for Playstation), the game sold a total of 9.37 million copies, making one of the biggest hits for Playstation.

Well this is my opinion on the matter and honestly they were way too many to make an honest list of all the racing drivers, but here are a few of my childhood heroes, racing heroes of all time and guys AND girls who pushed it far beyond what was thought to be possible. Buckle up and enjoy the trip through memory lane =)

For those of you who have paid a little bit of attention to the car market over the years, you might remeber that Suzuki had a small, rather boring SUV-ish car called Ignis in their fleet a few years ago. It wasn’t really a car for petrolheads, but now they’ve come up with a new one, and it looks bloody brilliant!

Introduction For years, the idea of a Japanese sports saloon with the kind of prestige and status of a BMW or an Audi was a contradiction in terms. The Germans offered the class, the Japanese the value. Mazda’s Xedos 6 changed all that when it was launched in 1992. A Xedos 6 is a decent investment in automotive terms - and a surprisingly fine compact executive saloon.

Ay :D So for the past few days i have been looking at Isuzus and i must say, they are pretty cool… Just look at their cars, its so 90’s. You know those japanese kei cars that are only released in Japan and not really in Europe, America or Australia? Well Isuzu is different, it has designs that combine all (Euro, Kei, Americans reliable first GM cars). Ok, to some people Isuzu is pure crap because of the looks of that SUV, but to me its fine. People know Isuzu because of the Isuzu Trooper, but i like them because of their little sedans and coupes that are pure gold

How come the south american country has one of the biggest concentration of JDM cars in the world? If you go to Ciudad Del Este, the second biggest city of Paraguay, near the border of Brazil and Argentina, you will find sellers willing to sell you everything, a very hot and humid weather and one of the biggest hydroelectric dams in the world.

When you take F1 champions and put them into a bigger and heavier stock car you would expect them to do better job than most drivers in that sport… right? Well, Looking from Juan Pablo Montoya’s (who won 1 F1 world drivers title) short NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career, I’d say you’d best have better plans in order to do well in the sport. Here’s a few reasons why I think the top-tier NASCAR series is harder than just turning left (and right, because of Sonoma and Watkins Glen (also been raced by F1 in the past))

Couldn’t really decide where to put this, so I’ll just leave it here. I couldn’t decide what to write about for my college essay, so I did it on my ongoing car addiction, and I must say, I’m pretty darn proud of it. Feel free to read it over, critique it, or just keep scrolling. It’s a free country.

My Dream Daily-Spec: How I'd Transform My ZX3 Hello, CTzens! I hope you’re all doing well! I decided to try out a more personal blog post, one of telling you all how I’d love to build my car as my ideal daily car…IF I HAD THE MONEY! Above, you can see my car: a 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 S. It’s no SVT, ST, or RS, but it’s still a fun, reliable, and practical car. That, and it being a hatchback, it meets all of my criteria for my perfect daily as a college student. Is it perfect? No, but here’s what I’d do to it to make it perfect!

1. There's One (Or More) From Every Region That Symbolizes Their Culture You’d be surprised by how a small snack or car can represent a whole continent. When someone says “Italy” a person might think of spaghetti. However, when someone says this to a car obsessed person, they’ll think of a Ferrari or something along that line. Here’s a few examples: A Corvette can represent America like a juicy, meaty, burger. An FD can represent Japan like a sushi, handcrafted and sold in the streets of Tokyo.

A driver phoned 999 as his car sped down a motorway at 119mph after the cruise control locked, an inquest heard. Kaushal Gandhi, 32, of Harrow, Middlesex, desperately tried to stop the out-of-control Skoda Octavia before it crashed into a parked lorry, killing him instantly. In the eight minutes leading up to the collision, Mr Gandhi told the call handler that the cruise control had become stuck and he could not stop the car accelerating.
